AGreed. Jlmoor..big Bang isnt black Face. It would have to be a false representation first and foremost and it isnt.


The only ones that get mad at big bang are people that act like they do. They are UBER nerds and they exist.

needing to one up and outclass fellow nerds. i know youve seen em. To non-nerds we are all cut from the same Jedi cloth. Having a nerd hierarchy is pretty much ridiculous.

Oh im not like those geeks. To the outside world that is funny.

So which one of them represents you?

Not everyone that is into Star Trek and comics is a social retard incapable of having a conversation that the cant relate back to obscure nerd culture.

But if it was just that, it could still be funny, or even endearing if done well. I like Abed, and he is pretty much just a geek with a lack pf social skills. on community, its funny. The show is just not funny, and people act like its the most inventive zany thing ever. The fact that the main guy knows the theme to TMNT does not warrant a 2 minute laugh track.

I wont argue if you personally dont find it funny. but Black Face is a bit of a stretch.

Sure it is. It is also a false representation of what is funny.

Hairy look looks good here.

Just read Nova and it was really good.

Yeah, I was pretty conflicted because being by Loeb, I expected it to be awful...but I liked it.

Liking a Loeb book...I'm not sure what's real anymore.

No it isnt and here is why.


CAn a nerd change misconceptions and become something better? The answer is yes.



Can a black person stop being black ( as characterized by black Face)? Of course not. No matter what a black person does or say they are still black.

Im tired of Non-Minority False Equivalency. It really cheapens the brand of white opinion, and Minorities are sick of it.

Its banal.

Only Non-Minorities change definitions and categories of what is and isnt acceptable. Give it a rest. First Blacks arent human. Then black face dehumanizes an entire race as inferior.

Now Non-minorities label a sitcom black face, in which its cast are physicists, smart computer programmers that have so much excess money they can spend it on whims. Moreover, somehow that is derogatory. Even when Movies are made that celebrate the creator of Facebook and Apple, and such.

Give me a break! Name me one movie or Cable series in which a Minority Business man or web designer had a movie made n his or her life. I hate to say it but complaining over BIg bang is laughable.

In other words if Big Bang is the only thing you can complain about you are soooooooooooooooooooooo Privileged.

[RolandJP]

So what. It does happen. Dont believe me---carry a few comic Omnibus on the train and see if some people dont laugh.

[Hurnslice]

No it isnt and here is why.

Yes it is and here is why.

It is still about perception. The black person isn't anything like he is being portrayed by the person in black face. Neither is the nerd.

It may be extreme, but it's still valid. Dare I say, (wait for it) ...radical!

PArks and Rec must be black face to those who work in that community. Same goes for Office workers when it comes to the Office.

RolandJP's Law.

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Blackface approaches 5."In other words, I have observed that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope—someone inevitably makes a comparison to Black Face.

Ultimately its about controlling Image. Oh yeah nerds are really cool. As are excessive video game players and those delving into comic and sci fi plotlines to minutia.

Im not afraid to let my Geek flag Fly. but I guess there are some that really care about what others think. Or in their mind they are different than those other geeks. Quite sad.

[Hurnslice]

There is a spirit in which something is directed. TBBT is mean spirited. The analogy holds. You are also missing to point of the laugh track comic.

imo, of course.

[FiddleFaddle]

Hurnslice and jlmoor are being the CBS comedies of people right now

and that is an accurate analogy

Which is worse: Being the CBS of comedies or the Jay Leno of comedies?
